Liu Yu is a Mandarin Chinese full name formed by the surname Liu (刘/劉) and the given name Yu, romanized in Hanyu Pinyin. The surname ranks among the most common in China, tracing to Zhou-era states and clan lines; as a family name it signals lineage rather than a specific meaning.

The name is unisex.

Variant romanizations include Liu Yü (Wade-Giles) and Cantonese forms such as Lau Yu/Jyu; the surname may also appear as Lew or Liew in diaspora. In Western order it is often written Yu Liu.
